Pregnant Gypsy-Rose Blanchard Wants Daughter to ‘Read’ Memoir, ‘I’m an Open Book’

Gypsy-Rose Blanchard prepares to share her life story with her future daughter, starting with the memoir she wrote for her.

In a recent conversation about The Road Files podcast, Gypsy-Rose, 33, spoke with host Nick Viall about her plans to open up about her past to her son.

Blanchard, who was convicted for her role in the murder of her mother, Dee Dee Blanchard, explained that being open with her daughter about her story has been a key consideration since she found out she was expecting.

“This conversation is going to come up someday, and how do I want to address it? How do I want to handle it?” Gypsy-Rose shared. “And I have a feeling that when she’s old enough to understand, we’ll sit her down together.”

Blanchard, who is expecting her first child with boyfriend Ken Urker, said she has the support of her father and stepmother in deciding how to approach the sensitive issue.

“With love and care and consideration, we have a lot of time to prepare for this, to know what words need to be said,” he explained.

One of the ways Gypsy-Rose plans to help her daughter understand her life story is through her memoirs, My Time to Stand: A Memoir.

“Because she could read it for herself and see that I’m not this monster, I’m not the person they say on social media. I’m none of those things,” he said. “My memories are a true form of my soul and everything that had happened.”

In addition to her memoir, Gypsy-Rose is also open to letting her daughter watch the documentary made about her life, if she chooses.

“I mean, I totally encourage looking at someone’s life in the most real way, so I’m all for the documentary. So if she wants to watch my documentary, I’ll let her when she’s old enough,” Gypsy-Rose said.

“And reading my book. And talking to us. I’m an open book, he’s an open book. Any questions he has, we want him to feel comfortable asking us.”

Blanchard, who spent eight years in prison for her involvement in her mother’s death and has spoken openly about her experience with Munchausen syndrome by proxy, is determined to be transparent with her daughter about her past. .

She hopes that by sharing her journey through her book, her son will gain a better understanding of the person he really is.
